Lawyer Code Of Conduct?

Card image cap

Location: North Carolina

I work in healthcare in North Carolina at a private practice. There's an individual that used to be a patient in our office that hasn't been seen in over two years, and he has become a bit of an issue for us. He constantly calls basically demanding that we refill his prescriptions and we will inform he we haven't seen him in 2 years he needs to be seen and evaluated. He will schedule the appointment and then cancel usually day of and then demand refills again. This individual claims to be a lawyer, and he keeps on making empty threats that he's a lawyer and he knows the law and legally we have to give him his medication's and that he could sue us. I know this is a bunch of bullshit, I've been working in medicine for a long time. I know I don't have to fill medications for people that I am not actively taking care of. I'm curious though, is he even allowed to say these things? Is there a code of conduct for lawyers preventing them from using their title to make empty threats in an attempt to get what they want. If he continues to do this can I report him? Thank you in advanced. this guy is a total asshole and I'm over it
